The organ was built by Gabriel Kney & Co., Ltd., London, Ontario.
Harald Rohlig designed the instrument and played the dedicatory recital
on 21 December, 1975. The organ's key-action is mechanical (with great and
swell pneumatic assists) and the stop-action is solid-state. The console
is drawknob; the naturals are ebony and the sharps padouk. The keyboard
compass is 56 notes; the pedal compass 32 notes.

In October 1996, Mr. Kney replaced the combination action with a new
SSL system. Each of eight memory levels operates eight general combinations
operated by thumb pistons and toe studs; and four combinations for each
of the four divisions operated by thumb pistons. Reversibles include Swell/Great,
Swell/Pedal, and Great/Pedal, and Tutti, operated by thumb pistons.
